Storytelling is a method of communication that has spanned the ages. Whether the stories serve as oral histories, religious doctrines, or simple bedtime entertainment, they have become an important staple of mankind. Many of these stories are percussive; either in the rhythmic structure of the iambs, or in the onomatopoeia of the words. This project aims to fuse elements of classical-contemporary percussion with elements of storytelling. The will be presented to sick children and their families at Chicago’s Children’s Memorial Hospital (Fall 2005) in order to help alleviate the emotional and physical stress associated with hospitalization. It is Hills' goal to develop this show into a nationwide (USA) tour of children’s hospitals.
